I try to go to AW&C at least once a week. Manoli is so helpful in teaching me about both wine and cheese. The people that shop there are great too. Least pretentious wine store ever. I stoped in around lunch time one day and was treated to a feast of leftovers from Italian night along with an exceptional glass of wine. Wonderful store.
I have eaten at Pane e Vino many times and have never been anything but pleased. Every restaurant has off nights and, to be sure, there is no good excuse, but I really like everything about the place. It is in my Top Ten in it's price range and shows up several pricier restaurants.

Go Zuc! Most likeable chef in Charleston. Perfect choice.
